You know I've pvp'ed for a very long time in a lot of games.

I'm not sure why there can't be a level attack restrictions such as EQ2 where you can only attack 4 levels above or 4 levels below or such and everyone is outlaw all the time.

People are coming on here saying griefing is part of PvP lol. Where do you get off saying that? I'm pretty certain we all play games to have fun and kill time correct? Is it fun for anyone when you have a person 10+ higher levels than you just camping the leveling area because well...it strokes his ego to do so?

To me the most that say it's "ok" are the ones most likely doing it. I have no problem with open PvP where a person a few levels ahead of me tries to gank me while I'm killing a quest mob or doing an escort. I have a problem with a person attempting to gank me that knows he can 1-2 shot me and is just doing it because it makes him feel better about himself.

Point is we're here to have fun...challenge ourselves...and to ultimately waste time. How does ganking someone who you know is going to only take 1-2 hits do any of those? If you say doing it is fun...you have other issues lol..mentally.

Well, on the pvp server people were griefing hardcore on the last day, so I got curious and someone told me there's no penalty for PKing, but that outlaw skill description says there is a penalty for PKing... am I missing something here? Is it not working? If there is no penalty that'll be very odd, every other mmo that has pking (not many that I can even think of) has a penalty of sorts to only let the truly hardcore (or complete d.ouche) to take the risk of PKing.

Anyway, can anyone clarify with details? Thanks in Advance.

there should be a damn reward for pking. this is a pvp server for crying out loud. stop being a freaking noob

They have clarified.

You should browse the posts of EME employees before assuming they haven't posted anything, especially if you're keen on discussing PvP matters in General Discussion.

No, don't worry, I'll grab it for you this time because you'll likely spout off some nonsense about not caring enough to find the information yourself, despite your cries for clarification.

Right now there are no repercussions for kill or killing. We want to try out PvP in the next CBT and see what people think about the system.

Personally I think there should be some risk/reward vs. having a straight gankfest but I tend to be a bit more strategic in thought. Play in the next CBT and give us your thoughts!

The outlaw skill itself is already a huge penty. Everyone can jump you even not flagged already. (hope they fix this make it so only person attacked can fight back unflagged everyone else has to flag to join in) Also if you die while flagged you loss crystal where if your just pked by some one and not flagged you don't loss any.

game would be broken. Guilds/friends could not protect their lowbies. Just stop QQing about everyone able to kill you if you go outlaw. Roll on a PvE server if you can't handle being vulnerable after player killing. PK in groups. Stop whining about other people fighting you. Be more careful when you pk. This is the argument for people who QQ about griefers. It applies here as well. Make sure you are in a group if you are going to pk people.

Deal with the fact that if you go outlaw, anyone can attack you. Start pking in low traffic areas. Just adapt, and deal with the situation. The system is damn near perfect as is.
